Curtains (1983)

Some truly gruesome imagery in this one. I’ve unfortunately become a tough scare in my old age from holding the film negative of my psyche up to the sunlight of constant horror every day since the age of 13. But even still I found the image of a woman in an ill fitting old…

There is like 47 subplots in this movie. Somewhere in there is a fun slasher. Kudos on the mask and the ice skating scene.

Another 80’s slasher and a really great one at that! Let me tell you that the VHS cover art was terrifying as a kid. Like, there was absolutely no way I was going to rent this back then even if I was allowed. Something about that face still creeps me out now. I mean, look…

It’s another day in 1983, and another slasher enters the fray. So what is Curtains’ angle? What would separate it from the ocean of similarly themed films? Well, it is clearly a more adult-oriented story than most. Instead of camp counselors, graduating students or young…

A very mediocre slasher that is basically only noteworthy for its snowy, secluded mansion setting, and for the pre-kill ice skating sequence. Its biggest failing is definitely that the murders happen off-screen/the lack of gore effects. There's a lot of wasted potential…

It might have been because of the wine but this felt very muddled at times. That didn't keep me from enjoying it though. Any time I discover an unknown (to me) '80s slasher is a good time™. I just dig movies that take place in a mansion. Add a group of colourful characters…
